Hey there! My husband decided to give me new stamps for Mother's Day! One of the sets I chose was Abstract Impressions a set that is also part of a bundle from the New Annual Catalog. A pairing of stamps and Big Shot thinlets, I decided to create a basic card first with the spotlighting technique.

I loved working with Highland Heather on my Accented Blooms card yesterday, so I decided to use it again on this one. I used Mint Macaron where green was needed and added a thin edge of Basic Black for definition.

I cut out the focal image with a Stitched Shapes Framelit and then cut a slightly larger oval with a Layering Oval Framelit. I added pearls to the blooms and adhered a Whisper White Polka-Dot Tulle bow with a blue dot.

Hey there! The excitement is building for the New Annual Catalog, which will be "open for business" on June 1st! I've shared with you several new sets and suites, from Share What You Love (Bundles are still for sale through May 31st, and then they will be gone) to Animal Outing. Today I have a card created with Accented Blooms, a lovely set that coordinates with the Tailored Tag Punch, a carry-over from the Occasions Catalog!

I'm very excited that Black Embossing Powder is returning to the new catalog, so I used it to emboss the flowers and the sentiment image for my card.

This image is designed with an opening built in to layer the greeting, which I embossed with black powder and punched out with the Tailored Tag Punch. I used a sponge dauber to add So Saffron, Mint Macaron, Powder Pink, Highland Heather, and Flirty Flamingo to the blooms.

I black heat-embossed an Accented Blooms greeting and repeated the dry embossing with the Lovely Floral folder.

Because the Tailored Tag Punch has already been bundled with the Truly Tailored stamp set in the Occasions Catalog it won't be bundled with Accented Blooms in the New Annual Catalog. However, you can still order the Truly Tailored Bundle through May 31st or while supplies of the stamp set last!

Hey there! Today we are coming to the end of my series of Barn Door cards. I turned the door into a planter for the roses from Petal Palette!

I embossed the Blackberry Bliss background with the Ruffled Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. After stamping and cutting out the door I turned it on it's side to create the planter.

I colored the Petal Palette rose with Blackberry Bliss and Old Olive Stampin' Write Markers, stamped on Very Vanilla, then used a Blender Pen to pull the color over the blooms. I added Clear Wink of Stella for some shimmer. I tied Blackberry Bliss Nature's Twine in a bow and added with a glue dot.

The Petal Palette sentiment fits nicely in the Classic Label Punch.

I breathed on the remaining ink left on the bloom image before stamping on the inside layer to get a lighter look.
